Edwulf has had his jumping problems and again made a few mistakes when just outpaced by Childrens List over 3m1f here on New Year's Eve. Arkwrisht, a Grade 3 winner over timber, was in touch when falling in that race but had also made mistakes and will need to jump much better. Mall Dini, last year's Pertemps Hurdle winner at Cheltenham, has performed well in his two starts over fences behind useful winners and looks a threat to all. BACHASSON, a close second in a Grade 1 over hurdles and four-times winner, started odds-on for his chasing debut at Thurles but looked to be feeling the pinch when falling at the last. He looks the type to do much better and gets another chance to put matters right. Just Cause started off well over fences but hasn't run so well in his last two starts.
